So it looks like my keyboard is messed up. I cleaned it and discovered the space key is broken. I'm using Windows 8; is it possible to hotkey another key on my keyboard do to the spacebar's job? I can't seem to figure out how to do that on here, if it's doable.

Not sure if it would work. But you might be able to use a virtual keyboard. You could left click the virtual space instead of hitting the space bar. Another possible option is to get a portable keypad and plug it into your usb.

Until you find a fix, I guess you could copy a single space between words and then press CTRL V every time you want to make a space. That is not really an easy/convenient fix but it will do the job until you find a better solution.
